7 things you are sure not to have known about your battery.

Breakdown reason no. 1

According to breakdown statistics, batteries are the most frequent cause of breakdowns.

The heart of vehicle electrical systems.

Start-stop system, air conditioning and recuperation, brake energy regeneration. The electrical systems in vehicles are becoming more and more complex and require batteries that are more cycle-proof.

Short journeys. More electricity.

With short journeys, vehicles often consume more electricity than the alternator can recharge.

Always on.

Safety functions and, for example, the anti-theft alarm system, coming home and leaving home functions require electricity even when your Volkswagen is switched off.

Shorter life.

In very hot weather or given long idle times, the battery may self discharge, its lifetime thereby being reduced.

Heavy labour for your comfort.

Ventilation, seat and air conditioning , infotainment – modern cars have long since ceased to use the battery merely for starting.

Energy for the environment.

Start-stop system and recuperation (brake energy regeneration) make many Volkswagens more environmentally responsible – and need a cycle- proof battery that reliably produces peak performance.

Your energy level at a glance.

In good shape with a high acid level.

You can see whether your battery is alright from its acid indicator if it was manufactured after 2009. Can you see black? This is a good sign here. Is the display bright yellow? Head off to your Volkswagen Partner.

Your battery needs to be changed from time to time. Reason: Whenever the battery discharges, lead sulphate crystals, which reduce the electricity flow in the long term, form on the battery's lead plates. The more lead sulphate crystals have formed on the plate surfaces, the less capacity the battery has.

Long idle times, many short journeys: When it is time for a change depends on many factors. As a general rule, however, you should have your battery checked yearly . Like this, you will be able to rely on it at all times.

Many Volkswagen have a battery energy management. Among other things, it detects the state of the battery and controls the vehicle's energy management. That works only if the battery is matched exactly to the vehicle and the system recognises it via a code. Otherwise, an unnecessary load may be placed on the battery or it may be over-discharged. This may give rise to permanent damage.

Are you unsure how old your Volkswagen Genuine Starter Battery is? No need to worry. You can read it off from the negative pole, where calendar week and year have been embossed.

Safety with a certificate and in next to no time.

We check your Volkswagen from the engine through to the brakes – in the Express Service as well. Result: Good value retention. A quality certificate. And, of course, the good feeling that comes from being safer on the road.

Four brief tips for a long battery life.

More energy for longer and no trembling in winter: Get even more from your battery now.

Keep active.

Inactive batteries discharge, with lead sulphate being deposited on the lead plates and hindering the electricity flow. Battery capacity sinks. A maintainer keeps the battery active and prevents further deposits.

Clean is safe.

Keep the battery clean and dry using an anti-static cloth. Moisture in the engine compartment may cause creep currents, which suck up energy.

Long-distance runner.

On short journeys, your Volkswagen often needs more energy than the alternator can generate. The battery drains little by little. Drive longer distances on a regular basis to recharge it.

Extra charge.

Full power for the environment.

Want to do something for the environment? Many Volkswagen models will help you here with functions like the start-stop system or brake energy regeneration, recuperation, for short. Prerequisite: a strong starter battery.

Start-Stop system.

The start-stop system automatically switches the engine off and back on when you take your foot off the clutch or brake or depress it again. This enables you to consume up to 0.2 l less fuel for every 60 miles (100km) in urban driving. Prerequisite: a battery that is particularly cycle-proof – i.e. remains efficient even with frequent charging and discharging.
